dark chocolate mint chip biscotti

Guess what today is? Last day of final exams! Words cannot describe how happy I am to be done. Yay! Well, done for about 10 days… because then I’m taking a winter course. BUT I digress. Let’s talk about cookies! This year was my first time participating in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, and it was a blast! I received three boxes of cookies from three different bloggers, and I had to send out three boxes myself. These are the cookies I decided to give out… Dark Chocolate Mint Chip Biscotti!

I personally am not a big fan of peppermint, or most chocolate-mint combinations… though mint chocolate chip ice cream and Olive Garden mints {aka Andes chocolates} are happy exceptions. Being Italian, I felt silly for not having a single biscotti recipe on this bloggie of mine, and I knew that this kind of cookie would ship exceptionally well. I love chocolate {as I’m sure you know by now}, but I wanted to put a little bit of a different twist on the classic chocolate treat! Enter Andes chips… um, best thing EVER. These give the cookies a little bit of minty fresh kick without tasting like toothpaste!

These little bites are exceptionally easy and perfect for your next cookie swap! Even those who aren’t mint fans will enjoy them… the chocolate is definitely center stage, with just a kiss of mint. Of course the minty chocolate drizzle on top is optional, but cuter is always better in my opinion. 🙂 If you are interested in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, you can get some information and sign up for next year right here. Oh, and I almost forgot! Here are the goodies I received {please excuse my phone pictures… haha} 🙂Chocolate Chip Oat Flour Cookies from Fearlessly Creative Mammas, Walnut Snowball Cookies from Cooking & Beer, and Cookies from Treats 4 Ta-Tas {no recipe available}. Thank you ladies!
